何夢華(1923–2009),原籍廣東,生於上海,是邵氏兄弟旗下產量最多的導演之一。他畢業於上海市立劇專,校長為熊佛西,田漢、潘孑農、曹禺等都曾是他的老師,戲劇訓練影響他日後處理人物與場面的方式。1948年他在上海參與中電一廠《街頭巷尾》的製作,同年來港,經師長介紹進入永華影業公司編寫劇本並擔任副導演;嚴俊對他甚為賞識,邀他任副導演,合作了《菊子姑娘》(1956)及《亡魂谷》(1957)。1955年他加入邵氏,先任編劇,其後轉任導演。 他的首部執導作品是國際電影懋業的《野姑娘》,公映卻在邵氏父子的《人約黃昏後》(1958)之後;邵逸夫看過《人約黃昏後》試片,即指示邵氏與他簽約,此後他長期為邵氏兄弟拍片,直至1980年。早年他多拍時裝片,如《飛來艷福》(1959)、《迷魂曲》(1959)、《桃色風雲》(1960)及《江水東流》(1960)等。他自稱是商業導演,各種類型都拍:1967年由李菁、關山主演的文藝片《珊珊》,奪得第十四屆亞洲電影節最佳影片獎;1966年賣座的《西遊記》令他奉命接連炮製《鐵扇公主》(1966)、《盤絲洞》(1967)及《女兒國》(1968)等神怪古裝片。其後他轉拍武俠片,作品包括《玉羅剎》(1968)、《荒江女俠》(1970)及《飛龍斬》(1976),其中1975年的《血滴子》更被公認為他最出色之作。同期他亦拍過《降頭》(1975)等驚慄片、奇案片《香港奇案》(1976),以及特技掛帥的《猩猩王》(1977)。他為邵氏執導的最後一部影片是《情俠追風劍》(1980)。 1980年離開邵氏後,他曾赴台灣拍攝新馬師曾旗下永祥企業出品的《廣東先生與響馬》,其後淡出影圈,1994年移民加拿大,晚年回流香港,2009年5月19日病逝。

Ho Moon-hwa (Ho Meng-hua; 1923 – 19 May 2009), born in Shanghai to a family from Guangdong, was one of Shaw Brothers' most prolific directors. He graduated from the Shanghai Municipal Drama School, where the principal was Xiong Foxi and his teachers included the playwrights Tian Han, Pan Jienong and Cao Yu; this training shaped the way he handled characters and staging. In 1948 he worked on a Shanghai production before coming to Hong Kong the same year; through his former teachers he joined Yung Hwa, writing scripts and serving as assistant director, and was valued by Yan Jun, for whom he assisted on two films in 1956 and 1957. He joined Shaw Brothers in 1955 as a screenwriter and later turned to directing. His first directed film was made for Motion Picture & General Investment, but it was released after Shaw & Sons' The Evening Appointment (1958); after Run Run Shaw saw a test screening of that picture, the studio signed him, and he went on to work for Shaw Brothers until 1980. Early on he made many contemporary films. Calling himself a commercial director, he tried almost every genre: his 1967 melodrama Susanna, starring Li Ching and Kwan Shan, won Best Film at the 14th Asian Film Festival; the box-office success of The Monkey Goes West (1966) led the studio to have him turn out a run of fantasy costume pictures, including Princess Iron Fan (1966), The Cave of the Silken Web (1967) and The Land of Many Perfumes (1968). He later shifted to martial-arts films such as The Jade Raksha (1968) and The Flying Guillotine (1975), the last of which is widely regarded as his finest work. He also directed horror films such as Black Magic (1975), the crime anthology film Hong Kong Criminal Archives (1976) and the effects-driven adventure The Mighty Peking Man (1977). His final picture for Shaw Brothers was the 1980 release. After leaving Shaw Brothers in 1980 he went to Taiwan to shoot a film produced by Sun Ma Si-tsang's company, then retired from the screen, emigrated to Canada in 1994 and later returned to Hong Kong, where he died on 19 May 2009.
